Beth and I have turned to "Wombling" over the last couple of weeks, and the more things that we find the more we want to find... it's kinda addictive!
Firstly there was the record player that now sits in the back of the beetle as an iPod dock. Our second find was a set of pioneer speakers that now sit proudly on the deck. Where we live you need to pay to dump things that don't fit inside your bin or wait for the council to come and collect your "Bulk Waste" twice a year which you leave out on the road.... some people just leave it out at any time because strangely everything disapears anyway! After my late night under cover of darkness grab mission we can now sit out on the deck and listen to some tunes which is great...note the tide mark on the front of the speaker!!!
Our other bit of recycling this week is this retro 1970 chair, which we unfortunately had to pay a grand total of £1.60 for! Planned as a working chair for me it has already been relinquished to Beth after loosing a bet about the band from the 80's Clime Fisher! It's in amazing condition for its age and has gone to a good home!

It's amazing what the 'everyday folk leave behind'! You are certainly putting your 'Keen To Be Green' principles into practice!
Good stuff!
Love the chair... very funky. I rescued a miniature wooden table from the tip last week for Lucy's play cafe. Totally approve of rehoming things... just working on the idea of us 'rehoming' a cat - but John's not so keen!
Lots of love Donna xx
lovl...
I'd blanked the Keen to be Green topic we'd written from my memory!
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle!
I still frequent Freecycle Australia as a result of it though! Give me a year or two and the house will resemble Steptoe's Yard!
Card of thanks in post for your wonderful gifts for Alfie! xxx
Where'd you get the chair!!!! It's awesome! I want one too!
